Item description from seller

Neuware - A family is found dead. A Seneca man stands accused. In 19th century Pennsylvania, fear, prejudice, and the machinery of justice converge in the Case of Samuel Mohawk, an Indian of the Seneca tribe charged with the murder of the Wigton family in Butler County, Penna. Drawn from contemporary reporting for The Spirit of the Age, this nineteenth century case report presents a complete trial transcript in the form of a primary source document: testimony, arguments, and the courtroom charge transcript delivered to the jury. The judge's directions and the cadence of examination reveal what proof sounded like to ordinary citizens, and how a verdict was guided. Read it as Pennsylvania true crime at its starkest, or as a window into how courts framed evidence and identity when the defendant was a Seneca tribe defendant in a community on edge. For legal history research, it offers rare, unvarnished material on procedure and rhetoric; for a Pennsylvania genealogy reference, it anchors names, places, and social tensions in Butler County Pennsylvania. More than a sensational cause celebre, the record matters: it preserves the language and assumptions that shaped a Native American murder trial, and it captures local life in 19th century Pennsylvania with the immediacy only court reportage can give. Collectors will prize its immediacy and rarity, too. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
